In Git v2.0, we will change the default --prefix for init/clone from
none/empty to "origin/" (which causes SVN-tracking branches to be
placed at refs/remotes/origin/* instead of refs/remotes/*).
This patch warns users about the upcoming change, both in the git-svn
manual page, and on stderr when running init/clone in the "multi-mode"
without providing a --prefix.

Currently, the git-svn defaults to using an empty prefix, which ends
up placing the SVN-tracking refs directly in refs/remotes/*. This
placement runs counter to Git's convention of placing remote-tracking
branches in refs/remotes/$remote/*.
Furthermore, combining git-svn with "regular" Git remotes run the risk
of clobbering refs under refs/remotes (e.g. if you have a git remote
called "tags" with a "v1" branch, it will overlap with the git-svn's
tracking branch for the "v1" tag from Subversion.
Even though the git-svn refs stored in refs/remotes/* are not "proper"
remote-tracking branches (since they are not covered by a proper git
remote's refspec), they clearly represent a similar concept, and would
benefit from following the same convention.
For example, if git-svn tracks Subversion branch "foo" at
refs/remotes/foo, and you create a local branch refs/heads/foo to add
some commits to be pushed back to Subversion (using "git svn dcommit),
then it is clearly unhelpful of Git to throw
warning: refname 'foo' is ambiguous.
every time you checkout, rebase, or otherwise interact with the branch.
At this time, the user is better off using the --prefix=foo/ (the
trailing slash is important) to git svn init/clone, to cause the
SVN-tracking refs to be placed at refs/remotes/foo/* instead of
refs/remotes/*. This patch updates the documentation to encourage
use of --prefix.
This is also in preparation for changing the default value of --prefix
at some point in the future.

check-ignore currently shows how .gitignore rules would treat untracked
paths. Tracked paths do not generate useful output. This prevents
debugging of why a path became tracked unexpectedly unless that path is
first removed from the index with `git rm --cached <path>`.
The option --no-index tells the command to bypass the check for the
path being in the index and hence allows tracked paths to be checked
too.
Whilst this behaviour deviates from the characteristics of `git add` and
`git status` its use case is unlikely to cause any user confusion.
Test scripts are augmented to check this option against the standard
ignores to ensure correct behaviour.

Typing 'HEAD' is tedious, especially when we can use '@' instead.
The reason for choosing '@' is that it follows naturally from the
ref@op syntax (e.g. HEAD@{u}), except we have no ref, and no
operation, and when we don't have those, it makes sens to assume
'HEAD'.
So now we can use 'git show @~1', and all that goody goodness.
Until now '@' was a valid name, but it conflicts with this idea, so
let's make it invalid. Probably very few people, if any, used this name.

In the synopsis, the second form to detach HEAD at the named commit
labelled the argument as '<commit>'. While this is technically more
correct, because the feature to detach is not limited to the tip of
a named branch, it was found confusing and did not express the fact
that you have to give `--detach` if you are naming the commit you
want to detach HEAD at with a branch name.
Separate this case into two syntactical forms, mimicking the way how
the DESCRIPTION section shows this usage. Also update the text that
explains the syntax to name the commit to detach HEAD at to clarify.

'git status' and 'git commit' can be told to also show the output of "git

But status and commit also honor the "diff.ignoreSubmodules" and the

or completely. This - and the fact that the last two settings do not

Allow a safer "rewind of the remote tip" push than blind "--force",
by requiring that the overwritten remote ref to be unchanged since
the new history to replace it was prepared.
The machinery is more or less ready. The "--force" option is again
the big red button to override any safety, thanks to J6t's sanity
(the original round allowed --lockref to defeat --force).
The logic to choose the default implemented here is fragile
(e.g. "git fetch" after seeing a failure will update the
remote-tracking branch and will make the next "push" pass,
defeating the safety pretty easily). It is suitable only for the
simplest workflows, and it may hurt users more than it helps them.

There is no reason not to turn on keepalives by default.
They take very little bandwidth, and significantly less than
the progress reporting they are replacing. And in the case
that progress reporting is on, we should never need to send
a keepalive anyway, as we will constantly be showing
progress and resetting the keepalive timer.
We do not necessarily know what the client's idea of a
reasonable timeout is, so let's keep this on the low side of
5 seconds. That is high enough that we will always prefer
our normal 1-second progress reports to sending a keepalive
packet, but low enough that no sane client should consider
the connection hung.

When upload-pack has started pack-objects, there may be a quiet
period while pack-objects prepares the pack (i.e., counting objects
and delta compression). Normally we would see (and send to the
client) progress information, but if "--quiet" is in effect,
pack-objects will produce nothing at all until the pack data is
ready. On a large repository, this can take tens of seconds (or even
minutes if the system is loaded or the repository is badly packed).
Clients or intermediate proxies can sometimes give up in this
situation, assuming that the server or connection has hung.
This patch introduces a "keepalive" option; if upload-pack sees no
data from pack-objects for a certain number of seconds, it will send
an empty sideband data packet to let the other side know that we are
still working on it.

This is similar in spirit to "make -C dir ..." and "tar -C dir ...".

git --git-dir=~/foo/.git --work-dir=~/foo status

2. (cd ../..; git grep foo)
3. for d in d1 d2 d3; do (cd $d && git svn rebase); done
The methods shown above are acceptable for scripting but are too
cumbersome for quick command line invocations.
With this new option, the above can be done with fewer keystrokes:
1. git -C ~/foo status
2. git -C ../.. grep foo
3. for d in d1 d2 d3; do git -C $d svn rebase; done

Historically, "git status" needed to prefix each output line with '#' so
that the output could be added as comment to the commit message. This
prefix comment has no real purpose when "git status" is ran from the
command-line, and this may distract users from the real content.
Disable this prefix comment by default, and make it re-activable for
users needing backward compatibility with status.displayCommentPrefix.
Obviously, "git commit" ignores status.displayCommentPrefix and keeps the
comment unconditionnaly when writing to COMMIT_EDITMSG (but not when
writing to stdout for an error message or with --dry-run).

If possible, <rev> will be dereferenced even if it is not a tag type
(e.g., commit dereferenced to a tree).

A tree-ish isn't a ref. Also, mention dereferencing, and that a
commit dereferences to a tree, to support gitrevisions(7) and
rev-parse's error messages.

Replace 'committish' in documentation and comments with 'commit-ish'
to match gitglossary(7) and to be consistent with 'tree-ish'.
The only remaining instances of 'committish' are:
* variable, function, and macro names
* "(also committish)" in the definition of commit-ish in
gitglossary[7]

The documentation contains a mix of the two spellings, so include both
in the glossary so that a search for either will lead to the
definition.

If a user is working on master, and has merged in their feature branch, but now
has to "git pull" because master moved, with pull.rebase their feature branch
will be flattened into master.
This is because "git pull" currently does not know about rebase's preserve
merges flag, which would avoid this behavior, as it would instead replay just
the merge commit of the feature branch onto the new master, and not replay each
individual commit in the feature branch.
Add a --rebase=preserve option, which will pass along --preserve-merges to
rebase.
Also add 'preserve' to the allowed values for the pull.rebase config setting.
